I heard the same report. The bombing occured in Bagdad. An Army patrol had just fenced off one end of a street with razor wire and were handing out candy and toys to the children of the neighbourhood. A suicide bomber in a car came out of a side street, rammed a Humvee and detonated the explosives in the car. About 24 children were killed along with a couple of American soldiers.
I think the attitude of many locals is that if the American were not in Iraq, these bombings and killings would not be taking place. larry On 7/14/05, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > What children?
